Subreddit Rules
- 10 Community Karma Required to Post and Karma Farming: Our community requires users to have 10 upvotes received on comments here before you will be allowed to create a new post or lead a discussion. Karma farming is asking for upvotes in the comments section of other users posts and should be reported to the mod team for removal.
- No Selling or Self Promotion: Users are strictly not allowed to promote what they sell here and should refrain from revealing who they sell for unless directly asked. This includes offering your solution in response to recommendation request, free trials, soliciting feedback, and similar conduct. Users found breaking this rule will receive an immediate and permanent ban.
- No Recruiting Users: This is not a place to recruit sales people. This includes posts inviting users to private trials for software or other tools/services/platforms. There are other subs for that such as /r/hiring or /r/salesjobs or /r/betatests . This is a *zero-tolerance* policy, and will result in an instant, permanent ban. *No exceptions, contesting, and absolutely no reversals of this ban will be considered!*
